Art Institute Recipient of Student Art Program

Sun Sentinel - March 3, 2000 --- The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale has announced the establishment of a Renaissance Hotel Student Art Program, a fund to help promote student creative talents and expositions.

The benefactors include a partnership between the developer (Interlink Hospitality and Lennar Partners) and the general contractor (Coastal Construction) of the new Renaissance Hotel, adjacent to the Art Institute's location on 17th Street.

The Renaissance Hotel Student Art Program will help fund projects overseen by AIFTL, and will enable students to showcase their creativity and intellectual pursuits.

The fund will also develop future exposition opportunities at the Renaissance Hotel, scheduled to open adjacent to the Art Institute in February 2001.

"We are extremely grateful to Interlink and Coastal Construction for their generosity," said Bill Kalaboke, president of the Art Institute, "Promoting art is a worthwhile benefit too easily overlooked. This is a fine example of good neighborly spirit."
